About

I’m one of the founders and partners of Social Ink, a small web and graphic design firm based in Brooklyn, NY. I’ll quote from our site, but you should really check us out if you’re looking for good affordable web design work:

Social Ink is a small, Brooklyn-based shop providing design and web development solutions for nonprofits, creatives, community groups, educators, and businesses large and small.

We provide full service web design, development, and visual identity solutions, from concept to launch. We will work with you to develop a communications strategy, design a new logo and branding guidelines, organize your content, and develop an intuitive, consistent interface optimized for accessibility and extendability down the road.

My other life getting a PhD from the amazing folks at the CUNY Graduate Center’s anthropology department. My research is about intellectual property, piracy and Brazil (specifically Rio de Janeiro). I am investigating piracy on multiple scales, from street sellers, or camelôs, to the Brazilian government and onto the world wide interwebs as a way people negotiate with 21st century social structures. If you have any juicy research for me or want to ask me any questions, please email me using the contact form.

I also tech at Hunter College at the City University of New York. Courses I’ve taught or are teaching are Anthropology 101, Anthropology of Music & Exchange, and Anthropology of Witchcraft, Magic & Science. Please visit the syllabus page to see what up.
